Identity Lost? Try Finding It in “We.” | Commitment to “The Band”by Dawn Lennon - Mar, 2015I’ve done it and I suspect you have too.
I’ve asked myself these exasperating questions:
Who am I really?
Am I the person others think I am–in my family, at work, among my friends?
Is my identity a product of my own design or have I just followed what others want/need/expect me to be?
If there’s a gap between how others perceive me and who I know myself to be, what next?

Networking Yogaby Shun McGhee - Mar, 2015The word yoga can be derived from two root words, according to Wikipedia.

Most people with project management experience are familiar with Cobb’s Paradox. The term was coined when Canadian Martin Cobb was serving as secretary of the treasury board in the mid-90s and famously asked the question:
